DLP-D301 Initiate an MS-SPRing Manual Ring Switch

Purpose

This task performs an MS-SPRing Manual ring switch. A Manual ring switch will switch traffic off a span if there is no higher priority switch (Force or lockout) and no signal degrade (SD) or signal failure (SF) conditions.

Tip: To move an icon to a new location, for example, to see MS-SPRing channel (port) information more clearly, click an icon on the Edit MS-SPRing network graphic and while pressing Ctrl, drag the icon to a new location.

Right-click any MS-SPRing node channel (port) and choose Set West Protection Operation (if you chose a west channel) or Set East Protection Operation (if you chose an east channel).

Note: The squares on the node icons represent the MS-SPRing working and protect channels. You can right-click either channel. For four-fiber MS-SPRings, the squares represent ports. Right-click either working port.

In the Set West Protection Operation dialog box or the Set East Protection Operation dialog box, choose MANUAL RING from the drop-down list. Click OK.

Click Yes in the two Confirm MS-SPRing Operation dialog boxes.

Verify that the channel (port) displays the letter "M" for Manual ring. Also verify that the span lines between the nodes where the Manual switch was invoked turn purple, and that the span lines between all other nodes turn green. This confirms the Manual switch.

From the File menu, choose Close.

Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

DLP-D303 Initiate an MS-SPRing Force Ring Switch

Purpose

DLP-D318 Provision a Low-Order VC3 Circuit Source and Destination

Purpose

This task provisions a circuit source and destination for a low-order VC3 circuit.

Note: After you have selected the circuit properties in the Circuit Source dialog box according to the specific circuit creation procedure, you are ready to provision the circuit source.

From the Node drop-down list, choose the node where the source will originate.

From the Slot drop-down list, choose the slot containing the E3-12 or DS3i-N-12 card where the circuit will originate. You can also choose an STM-N card to map the VC3 to a VC4 for optical transport. Figure 20-2 shows an example of a circuit source for an E3-12 card.

Figure 20-2: Defining the Circuit Source on an E3-12 Card

Choose the port from the Port drop-down list.

Choose the VC4 from the VC4 drop-down list.

Choose the VC3 from the VC3 drop-down list.

If you need to create a secondary source, for example, an SNCP ring bridge/selector circuit entry point in a multivendor SNCP ring, click Use Secondary Source and repeat Steps 1 through 5 to define the secondary source. If you do not need to create a secondary source, continue with Step 7.

Click Next.

From the Node drop-down list, choose the destination (termination) node.

From the Slot drop-down list, choose the slot containing the destination card. The destination is typically a E3 or DS3 card. However, you can also choose an STM-N card to map the VC3 to a VC4 for optical transport.

Depending on the destination card, choose the destination port from the drop-down lists that appear based on the card selected in Step 2. See Table 6-2 for a list of valid options. Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) does not show ports, VC4s, or VC3s already used by other circuits.

Note: If you and a user working on the same network choose the same port, VC4, or VC3 simultaneously, one of you receives a Path in Use error and is unable to complete the circuit. The user with the PARTIAL circuit needs to choose new destination parameters.

If you need to create a secondary destination, for example, an SNCP ring bridge/selector circuit exit point in a multivendor SNCP ring, click Use Secondary Destination and repeat Steps 8 through 10 to define the secondary destination.

Click Next.

DLP-D325 Install Timing Cables on the MIC-C/T/P

Purpose

This task installs the timing cables on the MIC-C/T/P FMEC.

Tools/Equipment

75-ohm coaxial cable with a 1.0/2.3 miniature coax connector on the MIC-C/T/P side

Using coaxial cable with 1.0/2.3 miniature coax connectors, connect the clock cable to the appropriate connector on the faceplate of the MIC-C/T/P FMEC.

Gently push the cable with the 1.0/2.3 miniature coax connector down until the cable connector slides into the 1.0/2.3 miniature coax connector on the faceplate with a click.

The MIC-C/T/P provides 1.0/2.3 miniature coax connectors that are used for timing input and output. The top connectors are for "A" (BITS-1) timing, and the bottom connectors are for "B" (BITS-2) timing. In each case, the left connector is the input and the right connector is the output. The input connectors for timing provide a 75-ohm termination. System cables are available that can convert timing clocks from 75 ohms to 100/120 ohms. Table 20-2 shows MIC-C/T/P pin assignments.

A high-impedance option (> 3 kilo-ohms or greater) is possible through a jumper on the MIC-C/T/P FMEC. You can change the top timing input to high impedance by removing the jumper on P3 on the MIC-C/T/P FMEC. You can change the bottom timing input to high impedance by removing the jumper on P2 of the MIC-C/T/P FMEC.

Note: Rather than using the LAN connection port on the MIC-C/T/P, you can use the LAN connection port on the TCC2/TCC2P card if preferred. Use either the MIC-C/T/P connection or the TCC2/TCC2P card connection. You cannot use the LAN connection port on the MIC-C/T/P and the LAN connection port on the TCC2/TCC2P card simultaneously; however, it is possible for you to make a direct connection from a computer to the LAN connection port on the TCC2/TCC2P card while the LAN connection port on the MIC-C/T/P is in use as long as the computer connected directly to the TCC2/TCC2P card is not connected to the same LAN.

Using 0.51 mm² or 0.64 mm² (#22 or #24 AWG) wire or CAT-5 UTP Ethernet cable, connect the wires to the RJ-45 connector according to Table 20-3 and crimp the connector to the cable.

Using the cables with Molex 96-pin LFH connectors available from Cisco, connect the male connector to the female connector on the FMEC card that you want to connect to.

Use Table 20-4 to make the connection from the E-1 96-pin connector for Ports 1 to 21 to the external balanced 120-ohm E-1 interfaces.

DLP-D332 Install the TCC2/TCC2P Cards

Purpose

This task installs redundant TCC2/TCC2P cards. The first card you install in the ONS 15454 SDH must be a TCC2/TCC2P card, and it must initialize before you install any cross-connect or traffic cards.

Tools/Equipment

Two TCC2/TCC2P cards

Prerequisite Procedures

None

Required/As Needed

Required

Onsite/Remote

Onsite

Security Level

None

Note: When installing cards, allow each card to boot completely before installing the next card.

Open the latches/ejectors of the TCC2/TCC2P card that you will install.

Use the latches/ejectors to firmly slide the card along the guide rails until the card plugs into the receptacle at the back of the slot (Slot 7 or 11).

Verify that the card is inserted correctly and close the latches/ejectors on the card.

Note: It is possible to close the latches/ejectors when the card is not completely plugged into the backplane. Ensure that you cannot insert the card any further.

If you insert a card into a slot provisioned for a different card, all LEDs turn off.

Go to SubStep 1 to verify the LED activity on the TCC2 card. For the TCC2P card, go to SubStep 2.

For the TCC2 card:

All LEDs turn on briefly. The red FAIL LED and the yellow ACT/STBY LED turn on for about 15 seconds.

The red FAIL LED and the green ACT/STBY LED turn on for about 40 seconds.

The red FAIL LED blinks for about 15 seconds.

The red FAIL LED turns on for about 15 seconds. All LEDs turn on for about 3 seconds before turning off for about 3 seconds.

Both green PWR LEDs turn on for 10 seconds. The PWR LEDs then turn red for 2 to 3 minutes before going to steady green.

While the PWR LEDs are red for two to three minutes, the ACT/STBY, MJ, and MN LEDs turn on, followed by the SNYC LED.

The boot up process is complete when the PWR LEDs turn green and the ACT/STBY remains on. (The ACT/STBY LED will be green if this is the first TCC2 card installed, and amber if this is the second TCC2 card installed.)

Note: It might take up to 4 minutes for the A and B power alarms to clear.

Note: Alarm LEDs might be on; disregard alarm LEDs until you are logged into CTC and can view the Alarms tab.

Note: If you are logged into CTC, the SFTWDOWN alarm might appear as many as two times while the TCC2 card initializes. The alarm should clear after the card completely boots.

Note: If the FAIL LED is on continuously, see the tip below about the TCC2 card automatic upload.

For the TCC2P card:

All LEDs turn on briefly. The red FAIL LED, the yellow ACT/STBY LED, the green SYNC LED, and the green ACO LED turn on for about 15 seconds.

The red FAIL LED and the green ACT/STBY LED turn on for about 30 seconds.

The red FAIL LED blinks for about 3 seconds.

The red FAIL LED turns on for about 15 seconds.

The red FAIL LED blinks for about 10 seconds and then becomes solid.

All LEDs (including the CRIT, MAJ, MIN, REM, SYNC, and ACO LEDs) blink once and turn off for about 5 seconds.

Both green PWR LEDs turn on for 10 seconds. The PWR LEDs then turn red for 2 to 3 minutes before going to steady green. During this time, the ACT/STBY, MJ, and MN LEDs might turn on, followed by the SNYC LED briefly.

The boot up process is complete when the PWR LEDs turn green and the yellow ACT/STBY remains on. (The ACT/STBY LED will be green if this is the first TCC2 card installed, and yellow if this is the second TCC2 card installed.)

Note: It might take up to 3 minutes for the A and B power alarms to clear.

Note: Alarm LEDs might be on; disregard alarm LEDs until you are logged into CTC and can view the Alarms tab.

Note: If you are logged into CTC, the SFTWDOWN alarm might appear as many as two times while the TCC2P card initializes. The alarm should clear after the card completely boots.

Note: If the FAIL LED is on continuously, see the tip below about the TCC2P card automatic upload.

Verify that the ACT/STBY LED is green for active if this is the first powered-up TCC2/TCC2P card installed, or yellow for standby if this is the second powered-up TCC2/TCC2P. The IP address, temperature of the node, and time of day appear on the LCD. The default time and date is 12:00 AM, January 1, 1970.

The LCD cycles through the IP address (the default is 192.1.0.2), node name, and software version. Verify that the correct software version displays on the LCD. The software text string indicates the node type (SDH or SONET) and software release.(For example: SDH 07.00-05L-20.10 indicates it is an SDH software load, Release 7.00. The numbers following the release number do not have any significance.)

If the LCD shows the correct software version, continue with Step 8. If the LCD does not show the correct software version, upgrade the software or remove the TCC2/TCC2P card and install a replacement card.

Refer to the release-specific software upgrade document to replace the software. To exchange the TCC2/TCC2P card, see the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Troubleshooting Guide.

Repeat Steps 1 through 7 for the redundant TCC2/TCC2P card.

Tip: If you install a standby TCC2/TCC2P card that has a different software version than the active TCC card, the newly installed standby TCC2/TCC2P card automatically copies the software version from the active TCC2/TCC2P card. You do not need to do anything in this situation, but the loading TCC2/TCC2P card does not boot up in the normal manner. When the standby card is first inserted, the LEDs follow most of the sequence listed in Step 4. However, after the red FAIL LED turns on for about 5 seconds, the FAIL LED and the ACT/STBY LED begin to flash alternately for up to 30 minutes while the new software loads onto the active TCC2/TCC2P card. After loading the new software, the upgraded TCC2/TCC2P card's LEDs repeat the sequence from Step 4, and the amber ACT/STBY LED turns on.

Note: If you insert a card into a slot provisioned for a different card, all LEDs turn off.

Note: Alarm LEDs might be on; disregard alarm LEDs until you are logged into CTC and can view the Alarms tab.

DLP-D335 Install GBIC or SFP/XFP Devices

Purpose

This task installs Gigabit Interface Converters (GBICs), which are required for E-Series Ethernet, G-Series Ethernet, CE-1000-4, and FC_MR-4 cards, and Small Form-factor Pluggables (SFPs/XFPs), which are required for CE-MR-10, ML1000-2, 15454_MRC-12 (MRC-12), OC192SR1/STM64IO Short Reach (STM64-XFP Short Reach), OC192/STM64 Any Reach (STM64-XFP Any Reach), and ML-MR-10 cards. SFPs/XFPs are hot-swappable input/output devices that plug into a line card port to link the port with the fiber-optic network. For a description of SFP/XFP devices on transponder (TXP) or muxponder (MXP) cards, refer to the "Transponder and Muxponder Cards" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual.

Tools/Equipment

For information on which GBICs, SFPs, and XFPs are compatible with which cards, refer to the "Optical Cards" or "Ethernet Cards" chapters in the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Reference Manual.

Note: GBICs and SFPs are hot-swappable and can be installed or removed while the card or shelf assembly is powered and running.

Note: All versions of GBICs used with the ONS 15454 SDH can be one of two types: with clips or with a handle.

Remove the GBIC, SFP, or XFP from its protective packaging.

Check the label to verify that the GBIC, SFP, or XFP is the correct type for your network.

Note: Before you install SFPs on the MRC-12 card, refer to the MRC-12 card reference section in the "Optical Cards" chapter of the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Reference Manual for bandwidth restrictions based on the port where you install the SFP and the cross-connect card being used.

Verify the type of GBIC or SFP you are using:

If you are using a GBIC with clips, go to Step 4.

If you are using a GBIC with a handle, go to Step 5.

If you are using an SFP, go to Step 6.

For GBICs with clips:

Grip the sides of the GBIC with your thumb and forefinger and insert the GBIC into the slot on the card (Figure 20-5).

Note: GBICs are keyed to prevent incorrect installation.

Figure 20-5: GBIC Installation (with Clips)

Slide the GBIC through the flap that covers the opening until you hear a click. The click indicates that the GBIC is locked into the slot.

When you are ready to attach the network fiber-optic cable, remove the protective plug from the GBIC, save the plug for future use, and install the fiber connector.

Continue with Step 8.

For GBICs with a handle:

Remove the protective plug from the SC-type connector.

Grip the sides of the GBIC with your thumb and forefinger and insert the GBIC into the slot on the card.

Lock the GBIC into place by closing the handle down. The handle is in the correct closed position when it does not obstruct access to an SC-type connector.

Slide the GBIC through the cover flap until you hear a click.

The click indicates the GBIC is locked into the slot.

When you are ready to attach the network fiber-optic cable, remove the protective plug from the GBIC, save the plug for future use, and install the fiber connector.

Continue with Step 8.

For SFPs/XFPs:

Plug the LC duplex connector of the fiber into a Cisco-supported SFP or XFP connector.

If the new SFP/XFP connector has a latch, close the latch over the cable to secure it.

Note: To avoid error, connect fiber-optic cable so that the farthest slot to the right represents the east port, and the farthest slot to the left represents the west port. Fiber connected to an east port at one node must plug into the west port at an adjacent node.

Caution! Do not provision the SNCP east and west ports on the same STM-N card.

Plan your fiber connections. Use the same plan for all SNCP nodes.

Plug the fiber into the transmit (Tx) connector of an STM-N card at one node and plug the other end of the fiber into the receive (Rx) connector of an STM-N card at the adjacent node. The card displays an SF LED if the transmit and receive fibers are mismatched (one fiber connects a receive port on one card to a receive port on another card, or the same situation with transmit ports).

Note: To avoid error, connect fiber-optic cable so that the farthest slot to the right represents the east port, and the farthest slot to the left represents the west port. Fiber connected to an east port at one node must plug into the west port at an adjacent node.

Caution! Do not provision MS-SPRing east and west ports on the same STM-N card.

Plan your fiber connections. Use the same plan for all MS-SPRing nodes.

Plug the fiber into the Tx connector of an STM-N card at one node and plug the other end into the Rx connector of an STM-N card at the adjacent node. The card displays a SF LED if the transmit and receive fibers are mismatched.

Note: Do not mix working and protect card connections when connecting a four-fiber MS-SPRing. The MS-SPRing does not function if working and protect cards are interconnected. See Figure 20-10 for an example of correct four-fiber MS-SPRing cabling.

Note: If you want to modify a threshold setting, it might be necessary to click on the available directional, type, and interval (15 Min, 1 Day) radio buttons and then click Refresh. This will display the desired threshold setting.

DLP-D348 View ML-Series Ether Ports PM Parameters

Purpose

This task enables you to view ML-Series Ethernet port PM counts at selected time intervals to detect possible performance problems.

In node view, double-click the G-Series card graphic to open the card.

Click the Provisioning > Port tabs.

In the Water Marks column, click the cell in the row for the appropriate port.

To provision the Low Latency flow control watermark:

Choose Low Latency from the drop-down list.

The Flow Ctrl Lo and Flow Ctrl Hi values change.

Click Apply.

To provision a Custom flow control watermark:

Choose Custom from the drop-down list.

In the Flow Ctrl Lo column, click the cell in the row for the appropriate port.

Enter a value in the cell. The Flow Ctrl Lo value has a valid range from 1 to 510 and must be lower than the Flow Ctrl Hi value.

This value sets the flow control threshold for sending the signal to the attached Ethernet device to resume transmission.

In the Flow Ctrl Hi column, click the cell in the row for the appropriate port.

Enter a value in the cell. The Flow Ctrl Hi value has a valid range from 2 to 511 and must be higher than the Flow Ctrl Lo value.

This value sets the flow control threshold for sending the signal to the attached Ethernet device to pause transmission.

Click Apply.

Note: Low watermarks are optimum for low latency subrate applications, such as voice-over-IP (VoIP). High watermarks are optimum when the attached Ethernet device has insufficient buffering, best effort traffic, or long access line lengths.

Note: If this port's Fibre Channel or FICON link will be discovered by the Cisco MDS Fabric Manager for use with a Cisco MDS 9000 switch, you must provision the Fiber Channel/FICON port name to the following string: FC: switch> interface> Where switch> is the DNS name or IPv4/v6 address of the Cisco MDS 9000 switch, and interface> is the card slot/port of the FC_MR-4 port you are assigning a name.

Identifies the autonomously generated state that gives the overall condition of the port. Service states appear in the format: Primary State-Primary State Qualifier, Secondary State.

Unlocked-enabled-The port is fully operational and performing as provisioned.

Locked-enabled,disabled-The port is out-of-service and unable to carry traffic.

Locked-enabled,maintenance-The port is out-of-service for maintenance. Alarm reporting is suppressed, but traffic is carried and loopbacks are allowed.

Port Rate

Selects the Fibre Channel interface.

1 Gbps

2 Gbps

Link Rate

Displays the actual rate of the port.

-

Max GBIC Rate

Enable Distance Extension

If checked, allows additional distance by providing a GFP-T based flow control scheme. It enables the node to be a part of a Storage Area Network (SAN) with long-distance, remote nodes. If left unchecked, the remaining options are not available for editing. If Distance Extension is enabled, set the connected Fibre Channel switches to Interop or Open Fabric mode, depending on the Fibre Channel switch. By default, the FC_MR-4 card will interoperate with the Cisco MDS storage products.

-

Auto Detect Credits

If checked, enables the node to detect the transmit credits from a remote node. Credits are used for link flow control and for Extended Link Protocol (ELP) login frames between Fibre Channel/fiber connectivity (FICON) Switch E ports.

-

Credits Available

Sets the number of credits if an ELP login frame setting is missing or if the ELP login frame cannot be detected. Credits Available is editable only if Auto Detect Credits is unchecked.

Note: Longer distances between connected devices need more credits to compensate for the latency introduced by the long-distance link. The value should never be greater than the number of credits supported by the Fibre Channel/FICON port.

Numeric. 2 through 256, multiples of 2 only

Autoadjust GFP Buffer Threshold

If checked, guarantees the best utilization of the SONET/SDH transport in terms of bandwidth and latency.

DLP-D363 Provision Regenerator-Section DCC Terminations

Purpose

This task creates the SDH RS-DCC terminations required for alarms, administration data, signal control information, and messages. In this task, you can also set up the node so that it has direct IP access to a far-end non-ONS node over the DCC network. In addition, this task can create an OSI subnetwork point of attachment on the DCC to allow the node to be networked with third-party network elements (NEs) that are based on the OSI protocol stack.

Caution! If the ONS 15454 SDH is configured as an OSI IS Level 1 or IS Level 1/Level 2 node and you are provisioning an OSI-only (LAP-D) RS-DCC to a third party NE, verify that the maximum area routing parameter on the vender NE is set to 3 before you start this task.

Note: When RS-DCC is provisioned, an MS-DCC termination is allowed on the same port, but is not recommended. Use RS-DCC and MS-DCC on the same port only during a software upgrade when the software version does not support MS-DCC. You can provision RS-DCCs and MS-DCCs on different ports in the same node.

In node view, click the Provisioning > Comm Channels > RS-DCC tabs.

Click Create.

In the Create RS-DCC Terminations dialog box, click the ports where you want to create the DCC termination. To select more than one port, press the Shift key or the Ctrl key.

Note: RS-DCC refers to the regenerator section DCC, which is used for ONS 15454 SDH DCC terminations. The SDH multiplex-section DCCs and the regenerator-section DCC (when not used as a DCC termination by the ONS 15454 SDH) can be provisioned as DCC tunnels. See the "DLP-D361 Create a DCC Tunnel" task.

In the Port Admin State area, click the Set to `unlocked' radio button.

Verify that the Disable OSPF on DCC Link check box is unchecked.

If the RS-DCC termination is to include a non-ONS node, check the Far End is Foreign check box. This automatically sets the far-end node IP address to 0.0.0.0, which means that any address can be specified by the far end. To change the default to a specific the IP address, see the "DLP-D359 Change a Regenerator-Section DCC Termination" task.

In the Layer 3 box, perform one of the following:

Check the IP box only-if the RS-DCC is between the ONS 15454 SDH and another ONS node and only ONS nodes reside on the network. The RS-DCC will use Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP).

Check the IP and OSI boxes-if the RS-DCC is between the ONS 15454 SDH and another ONS node and third party NEs that use the OSI protocol stack are on the same network. The RS-DCC will use PPP.

Check OSI box only-if the RS-DCC is between an ONS node and a third party NE that uses the OSI protocol stack. The RS-DCC will use the LAP-D protocol.

Note: If OSI is checked and IP is not checked (LAP-D), no network connections will appear in network view.

If you checked OSI, complete the following steps. If you checked IP only, continue with Step 9.

Click Next.

Provision the following fields:

Router-Choose the OSI router.

ESH-Sets the End System Hello (ESH) propagation frequency. End system NEs transmit ESHs to inform other ESs and ISs about the NSAPs it serves. The default is 10 seconds. The range is 10 to 1000 seconds.

ISH-Sets the Intermediate System Hello (ISH) protocol data unit (PDU) propagation frequency. Intermediate system NEs send ISHs to other ESs and ISs to inform them about the IS NETs it serves. The default is 10 seconds. The range is 10 to 1000 seconds.

IIH-Sets the Intermediate System to Intermediate System Hello (IIH) PDU propagation frequency. The IS-IS Hello PDUs establish and maintain adjacencies between ISs. The default is 3 seconds. The range is 1 to 600 seconds.

Metric-Sets the cost for sending packets on the LAN subnet. The IS-IS protocol uses the cost to calculate the shortest routing path. The default metric cost for LAN subnets is 20. It normally should not be changed.

If the OSI and IP boxes are checked, continue with Step 9. If only the OSI is checked, click Next and provision the following fields:

Mode-Choose one of the following:

AITS-(Default) Acknowledged Information Transfer Service. Does not exchange data until a logical connection between two LAP-D users is established. This service provides reliable data transfer, flow control, and error control mechanisms.

UITS-Unacknowledged Information Transfer Service. Transfers frames containing user data with no acknowledgement. The service does not guarantee that the data presented by one user will be delivered to another user, nor does it inform the user if the delivery attempt fails. It does not provide any flow control or error control mechanisms.

Role-Set to the opposite of the mode of the NE at the other end of the RS-DCC.

MTU-Maximum transmission unit. Sets the maximum number of octets in a LAP-D information frame. The range is 512 to 1500 octets. The default is 512. You normally should not change it.

T200-Sets the time between Set Asynchronous Balanced Mode (SABME) frame retransmissions. The default is 0.2 seconds. The range is 0.2 to 20 seconds.

T203-Provisions the maximum time between frame exchanges, that is, the trigger for transmission of the LAP-D "keep-alive" Receive Ready (RR) frames. The default is 10 seconds. The range is 4 to 120 seconds.

DLP-D364 Provision Multiplex-Section DCC Terminations

Purpose

This task creates the SDH MS-DCC terminations required for alarms, administration data, signal control information, and messages. MS-DCCs are three times larger than RS-DCCs. In this task, you can also set up the node so that it has direct IP access to a far-end non-ONS node over the DCC network. In addition, you can set up the node so that it has direct IP access to a far-end non-ONS node over the DCC network. In addition, this task can create an OSI subnetwork point of attachment on the DCC to allow the node to be networked with third party NEs that are based on the OSI protocol stack.

Note: When MS-DCC is provisioned, an RS-DCC termination is allowed on the same port, but is not recommended. Use RS-DCC and MS-DCC on the same port only during a software upgrade if the software version does not support MS-DCC. You can provision RS-DCCs and MS-DCCs on different ports in the same node.

In node view, click the Provisioning > Comm Channels > MS-DCC tabs.

Click Create.

In the Create MS-DCC Terminations dialog box, click the ports where you want to create the MS-DCC termination. To select more than one port, press the Shift key or the Ctrl key.

Note: MS-DCC refers to the multiplex-section DCC, which is used for ONS 15454 SDH DCC terminations. The SDH multiplex-section DCCs and the regenerator-section DCC (when not used as a DCC termination by the ONS 15454 SDH) can be provisioned as DCC tunnels. See the "DLP-D361 Create a DCC Tunnel" task.

In the Port Admin State area, click the Set to IS radio button.

Verify that the Disable OSPF on DCC Link check box is unchecked.

If the RS-DCC termination is to include a non-ONS node, check the Far End is Foreign check box. This automatically sets the far-end node IP address to 0.0.0.0, which means that any address can be specified by the far end. To change the default to a specific the IP address, see the "DLP-D359 Change a Regenerator-Section DCC Termination" task.

In the Layer 3 box, perform one of the following:

Check the IP box only-if the MS-DCC is between the ONS 15454 SDH and another ONS node and only ONS nodes reside on the network. The MS-DCC will use PPP.

Check the IP and OSI boxes-if the MS-DCC is between the ONS 15454 SDH and another ONS node and third party NEs that use the OSI protocol stack are on the same network. The MS-DCC will use PPP.

Note: OSI-only (LAP-D) is not available for MS-DCCs.

If you checked OSI, complete the following steps. If you checked IP only, continue with Step 9.

Click Next.

Provision the following fields:

Router-Choose the OSI router.

ESH-Sets the ESH propagation frequency. End system NEs transmit ESHs to inform other ESs and ISs about the NSAPs it serves. The default is 10 seconds. The range is 10 to 1000 seconds.

ISH-Sets the ISH PDU propagation frequency. Intermediate system NEs send ISHs to other ESs and ISs to inform them about the IS NETs it serves. The default is 10 seconds. The range is 10 to 1000 seconds.

IIH-Sets the IIH PDU propagation frequency. The IS-IS Hello PDUs establish and maintain adjacencies between ISs. The default is 3 seconds. The range is 1 to 600 seconds.

Metric-Sets the cost for sending packets on the LAN subnet. The IS-IS protocol uses the cost to calculate the shortest routing path. The default metric cost for LAN subnets is 20. It normally should not be changed.

DLP-D368 Manual or Force Switch the Node Timing Reference

Purpose

This task commands the NE to switch to the timing reference you have selected, as long as the new reference is valid. With a Manual switch, the synchronization status message (SSM) quality of the reference must not be lower than the current timing reference.

Table 20-28: Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Circuit Status

CTC created a circuit. All components are in place and a complete path exists from the circuit source to the circuit destination.

DELETING

CTC is deleting a circuit.

PARTIAL

A CTC-created circuit is missing a cross-connect or network span, a complete path from source to destination(s) does not exist, or an alarm interface panel (AIP) change occurred on one of the circuit nodes and the circuit is in need of repair. (AIPs store the node MAC address.)

In CTC, circuits are represented using cross-connects and network spans. If a network span is missing from a circuit, the circuit status is PARTIAL. However, a PARTIAL status does not necessarily mean a circuit traffic failure has occurred, because traffic might flow on a protect path.

Network spans are in one of two states: up or down. On CTC circuit and network maps, up spans are shown as green lines, and down spans are shown as gray lines. If a failure occurs on a network span during a CTC session, the span remains on the network map but its color changes to gray to indicate the span is down. If you restart your CTC session while the failure is active, the new CTC session cannot discover the span and its span line will not appear on the network map.

Subsequently, circuits routed on a network span that goes down will appear as DISCOVERED during the current CTC session, but they will appear as PARTIAL to users who log in after the span failure.

DISCOVERED_TL1

A TL1-created circuit or a TL1-like CTC-created circuit is complete. A complete path from source to destination(s) exists.

PARTIAL_TL1

A TL1-created circuit or a TL1-like CTC-created circuit is missing a cross-connect, and a complete path from source to destination(s) does not exist.

CONVERSION_PENDING

An existing circuit in a topology upgrade is set to this state. The circuit returns to the DISCOVERED state once the topology upgrade is complete. For more information about topology upgrades, see the "SDH Topologies and Upgrades" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Reference Manual.

PENDING_MERGE

Any new circuits created to represent an alternate path in a topology upgrade are set to this status to indicate that it is a temporary circuit. These circuits can be deleted if a topology upgrade fails.For more information about topology upgrades, see the "SDH Topologies and Upgrades" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Reference Manual.

DROP_PENDING

A circuit is set to this status when a new circuit drop is being added.

Source-The circuit source in the format: node/slot/port "port name" virtual_container/tributary_ unit_group/tributary_unit_group/virtual_container. (The port name appears in quotes.) Node and slot always appear; port "port name"/virtual_container/tributary_unit_group/tributary_unit group/virtual_container might appear, depending on the source card, circuit type, and whether a name is assigned to the port. For the STM64-XFP and MRC-12 cards, the port appears as port pluggable module (PPM)-port. If the circuit is a concatenated size (VC4-2c, VC4-4c, VC4-8c, etc.) VCs used in the circuit are indicated by an ellipsis, for example, "VC4-7.9" (VCs 7, 8, and 9) or VC4-10..12 (VC 10, 11, and 12).

# of VLANS-The number of VLANs used by an Ethernet circuit with end points on E-Series Ethernet cards in single card or multicard mode.

# of Spans-The number of internode links that compose the circuit. Right-clicking the column shows a shortcut menu from which you can choose Span Details to show or hide circuit span detail.

State-The circuit service state, which is an aggregate of its cross-connects. The service states are Unlocked, Locked, or Locked-partial. For more information about circuit service states, refer to the "Administrative and Service States" appendix of the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Reference Manual.

Unlocked-All cross-connects are in service and operational.

Locked-All cross-connects are Locked-enabled,maintenance or Locked-enabled,disabled.

Locked-partial-At least one cross-connect is Unlocked-enabled and others are in the Locked-enabled,maintenance and/or Locked-enabled,disabled service states.

DLP-D371 View the MS-SPRing Squelch Table

Purpose

This task allows you to view the MS-SPRing squelch table for an ONS 15454 SDH MS-SPRing node. Squelching replaces traffic by the appropriate path AIS; it prevents traffic misconnections when a working channel service contends for access to a protection channel time slot carrying extra traffic. The table shows VC4s in the MS-SPRing squelched for every isolated node.

In network view, double-click a MS-SPRing node with OC48 LR/STM16 LH AS trunk cards that will be reconnected after a MS-SPRing node removal.

Double-click one OC48 LS/STM16 LH AS MS-SPRing trunk card.

Click the Provisioning > Line tab.

Record on paper the byte that appears in the MS-SPR Ext Byte column.

Repeat Steps 2 through 4 for the second OC48 LS/STM16 LH AS trunk card.

If the node at the other end of the new span contains OC48 LS/STM16 LH AS trunk cards, repeat Steps 1 through 5 at the node. If it does not have OC48 LS/STM16 LH AS cards, their trunk cards are mapped to the K3 extension byte. Continue with Step 7.

If the trunk cards on each end of the new span are mapped to the same MS-SPRing extension byte, continue with Step 8. If they are not the same, remap the extension byte of the trunk cards at one of the nodes. See the "DLP-D366 Remap the K3 Byte" task.
